Assembly comun intre mai multe tipuri de proiecte in Visual Studio

Uneori lucram cu proiecte care au assembly-uri atat pe Silverlight cat si solutii clasice .NET. Din pacate un assembly de Silverlight nu se fi adaugat ca si referinta la un proiect normal( sau invers).
O solutie la aceasta problema este sa adaugam fisierele ca si "Add as link" intr-unul din cele doua proiecte. Dar problema apare la compilare, in cazul in care apelam API care nu este suportat de una din platforme si uitam sa compilam fiecare solutie in parte pentru a face aceasta verificare.
Din aceasta cauza ne putem trezii cu neplaceri.
Ar fi frumos sa avem la dispozitie un proiect comun, pe care sa il putem referentia in orice proiect. Aici vine in ajutor Microsoft si ne pune la dispozitie Portable Library Tools.
Din pacate acest lucru trebuia facut in momentul in care au lansat Visual Studio 2010, dar niciodata nu este prea tarziu.
Cu ce ne ajuta acest tool? Avem posibilitatea sa avem un assembly comun intre Silverlight, XNA, Windows Phone, XBox si proiecte .NET clasice. Din pacate nu este perfect, inca se lucreaza la el, dar pana acuma nu am avur probleme cu el.
Dupa instalarea acestuia o sa avem un nou template in lista de proiecte la Visual Studio denumit: Portable Class Library. Acest proiect va putea sa fie adaugat ca referinta in orice alt proiect.

Windows Docker Containers can make WIN32 API calls, use COM and ASP.NET WebForms

After the last post , I received two interesting questions related to Docker and Windows. People were interested if we do Win32 API calls from a Docker container and if there is support for COM. WIN32 Support To test calls to WIN32 API, let’s try to populate SYSTEM_INFO class. [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] public struct SYSTEM_INFO { public uint dwOemId; public uint dwPageSize; public uint lpMinimumApplicationAddress; public uint lpMaximumApplicationAddress; public uint dwActiveProcessorMask; public uint dwNumberOfProcessors; public uint dwProcessorType; public uint dwAllocationGranularity; public uint dwProcessorLevel; public uint dwProcessorRevision; } ... [DllImport("kernel32")] static extern void GetSystemInfo(ref SYSTEM_INFO pSI); ... SYSTEM_INFO pSI = new SYSTEM_INFO(

ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'System.Data.SqlClient' could not be loaded

Today blog post will be started with the following error when running DB tests on the CI machine: threw exception: System.InvalidOperationException: The Entity Framework provider type 'System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer' registered in the application config file for the ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'System.Data.SqlClient' could not be loaded. Make sure that the assembly-qualified name is used and that the assembly is available to the running application. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=260882 for more information. at System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.DependencyResolution.ProviderServicesFactory.GetInstance(String providerTypeName, String providerInvariantName) This error happened only on the Continuous Integration machine. On the devs machines, everything has fine. The classic problem – on my machine it’s working. The CI has the following configuration: TeamCity .NET 4.51 EF 6.0.2 VS2013 It see

Navigating Cloud Strategy after Azure Central US Region Outage

 Looking back, July 19, 2024, was challenging for customers using Microsoft Azure or Windows machines. Two major outages affected customers using CrowdStrike Falcon or Microsoft Azure computation resources in the Central US. These two outages affected many people and put many businesses on pause for a few hours or even days. The overlap of these two issues was a nightmare for travellers. In addition to blue screens in the airport terminals, they could not get additional information from the airport website, airline personnel, or the support line because they were affected by the outage in the Central US region or the CrowdStrike outage.   But what happened in reality? A faulty CrowdStrike update affected Windows computers globally, from airports and healthcare to small businesses, affecting over 8.5m computers. Even if the Falson Sensor software defect was identified and a fix deployed shortly after, the recovery took longer. In parallel with CrowdStrike, Microsoft provided a too
